an Indiana fascist responds to Michican legalizing pot

[elmac]

Indiana State Police Sgt. Ron Galaviz said before Election Day that if the measure passed, he and his colleagues envisioned "dedicated patrols" to spot drivers coming from Michigan who might be high or have pot on them.

1. Won't that take away from resources guarding against the "caravan"

coming up from the south?

[elmac]

4. good point ;o) nt

2. Indiana's morality patrol

[Siwsan]

3. Good grief!

But, that kind of knee jerk reaction certainly doesn't really surprise me.

[elmac]

7. I'm thinking it was a scare tactic to try to sway the vote

but the creep should be fired but probably will be rewarded. I just wonder which pharma giant is paying him.

[Siwsan]

10. I agree. These legalization victories are a BIG financial hit to Big Pharma

Michigan legalized medical marijuana back in 2008 so this move just seems to be a natural progression.

If Michigan realizes the same financial benefits that the other states have (and I have no doubt we will) it will be interesting to see if the neighboring states see the light.

11. Big Pharma is moving in a legal pot in a big way, so is Wall Street.

Take some time and examine the money trail behind the funding of massive grow operations in states where pot is legal, and even in states that just have medical pot.

Big Pharma is going to cover itself on the over and the under. The industry that gets hit is the spirits industry, that is where the anti legalization money is coming from.

14. The Michigan proposal allows for a dozen personal use plants

That's the thing about marijuana - once you get your plants started, you are an independent consumer.

19. +1

5. The states surrounding

Colorado tried to do this and were sued, if I recall.

9. I'm a thinking the weed lawyers are one step ahead of the fascists and are planning for this. nt

[NorCen_CT]

6. Ha - I'm not going to lie, I thought this was going to be about Pence.

[workinclasszero]

8. Sure harass every vehicle coming out of Michigan fascist pig

See how that works out for the home of the northern KKK, asshole!

12. I live in Michigan...

and there's not a damned thing I would ever be going to Indiana for anyway, unless I'm just passing through.

[Siwsan]

16. Same here

That little stretch along Lake Michigan, on my way to Chicago - that's my Indiana experience.

[llmart]

17. Most boring state I've ever passed through.

I know several young people (and by young, I mean around 40-something) who went to college there and after graduation immediately left.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Indiana is going to moralize itself right into the ground.

These kinds of antics are going to drive away business and tourism. They'll soon become just like Kansas pre-11/6/18. Keep on spewing that kind of shit, you Nazi asshole. Nobody will want to come to your craphole state.

[roamer65]

15. Indiana is that shithole you drive thru going to Chicago.

Fuck ‘em.

[DavidDvorkin]

18. That has happened in some states neighboring Colorado

Colorado drivers report being stopped at a higher rate than before in Kansas and Nebraska.

I haven't experienced that, but maybe it's because I'm old, white, and drive a Subaru wagon.

[Locrian]

20. yeah....

I live in Indianastan..... 3 miles from the MI border (Notre Dame).
sigh......

Can we just move the MI border 3 miles south?

Indiana anywhere is pretty bad (far N is "ok&quot - but anything 30mil south or so is like the deep south (except Indianapolis)
